They say that the colors of the real world don’t look really real until you see them on the video screen... but who knew these dudes were so fucking handsome? Still, when instrumental sensations Pelican attained maximum onstage transcendence at the Scala in Kings Cross, London, those in attendance weren’t all that surprised. After all, these accomplished Chicagoans have been kicking ass and taking down the names on an international basis for years now. After the Ceiling Cracked features Pelican’s already legendary London live set from December 20, 2005, interviews and live bonus material shot at various stops on the band’s past US tours, a video for “Autumn Into Summer,” and an extensive photo gallery. Also included is a 3" audio CD** containing two versions of the song “Pink Mammoth” (a major-key reworking of the Untitled EP track “Mammoth”)—one of which features all the members of Seattle rock destroyers These Arms Are Snakes—and “End of Seasons,” a Prefuse 73 remix medley of “Aurora Borealis” and the untitled track from The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon The Thaw.
